    why is it always the weekend? have dipped badly cant stop crying. i missed my docs appt fri simply got days mixed up. they have horrible receptionist and its 3 wks to get appt.

    Dont know what to do. i have changes in work anotha new dept, i only feel safe in my original one. my head hurts scared again feel like i cant cope.

    my son left home today for a few hours i asked if he could help me tidy up. said he,d prefer to leave rather than help

    Change is not always a good thing :( hope it gets sorted so you can go back to other dept. soon.

    How old is your son? It's typical of children not to want to tidy up and go do their own thing.

    goodmorning.gifEveryone

    Miroslav
    So sorry to hear about your cat
    I lost one of my dogs from kidney failure in 2005, it was really sudden & unexpected
    I still have her brother who is 13 yrs old,(so I know how the thought of losing your cat is so upsetting) you can see a photo of him & my other dogs here #2532
    P'raps you might like to consider joining in on the thread and making something for charity?
    At the moment one of the Loving Hands challenges is to make
    Dog Coats, Pet beds and Animal Blankets (- these can be knitted, crocheted or stitched )
    So I thought that might be of particular interest to you
    See here #2370 and here #2422 for more info
    I love animals & I’m not fond of humans in general, I have to keep reminding myself that there are many good ones out there, whereas I see all animals as wonderful, innocent creatures who are so often badly treated by so called humanity.

    Have a look here;
    Pet Bereavement Support Website

    Have you considered helping out at a rescue centre?
    Please consider giving your love to another cat, in the sad event that you lose the one you have, there are so many of them who would be happy to have a home with you.

    For everything to do with cats, have a look here;
    http://www.catchat.org/
    They also have a forum
    http://www.catchat.org/forum.html


    Re;’ the vets are dragging me under.’
    I don’t know what your financial situation is but would it be possible for you to use the PDSA?
    http://www.pdsa.org.uk/eligibility.html

    Many RSPCA animal welfare establishments also offer subsidised veterinary treatment (help with vet bills), neutering and microchipping in addition to pet care information and rehoming facilities.

    You can check whats available in your area here;

    Sorry about your dog :(

    I couldn't make anything. I'm pretty hopeless and impatient :o Always on edge. I'd go at it for 10 seconds then get annoyed :o

    Their is the odd nice human (me!) but I don't have time for most. I just don't meet the nice ones. I was always scared of animals when growing up. Then flatmate wanted a cat and I grew fond of him, went to get him a friend and got 4 more :o Now I adore my cats, they have been my best friends. Loyal, loving and alot of fun.

    Thanks for all the links. PDSA won't help as i'm not in right postcode. RSPCA put up £20 for my last cat but no more. I have 5 cats, so won't be getting anymore. When we are down to 1, we would consider a couple of small ones to keep them company and when the older cat passed on, the 2 small ones would have each other. This assuming i'm in the right frame of mind to start again.

    I quite often feel like this too. Life is hard and I can't cope with things the way other people seem to do. Us humans make life hard for each other. A smile or a helping hand costs nothing and yet people seem to not want to bother.

    I can understand how you feel about your cat. I have dogs and they are very special to me. They are always there for me and never in a bad mood and always happy to see me. I lost one recently to an unexpected illness and I was devastated because I loved her so much. I keep wanting to give her a big hug but she's not here any more. :( I think Maytaurus has some helpful suggestions. I really would consider rescuing a cat or helping out at a rescue centre. Doing something so worthwhile would make you feel needed and Im sure those poor cats would appreciate some love.

    Remember that there are people here who value you and care too.

    As they say (whoever 'they' are) 'Their is nothing wrong with the world, it's the people in it that are the problem'

    Sorry to hear about your dog. Animals are a very important part of alot of peoples lives. Some people just don't understand that.

    I'm lost. I'm fed up of people taking but never giving me anything back. I guess all likewise folk stay in alot, like me and go around with the same 'come near me and i'll slap you silly' look :o

    As so many of you have lost pets recently, Virginia Ironside has just had a new edition of 'Goodbye, Dear Friend' published. It's about coping with the death of a pet. As it was first published over 20 years ago, you'd probably find it in the local library, or could order it.

    She's also done one called "You'll get over it: the rage of bereavement" which deals with the loss of a person.

    Well, its raining and miserable today but I shan't let it get me down. We need it to rain sometimes I suppose. Glad it was sunny yesterday as my OH got some jobs done in the garden.

    Hope everyone is ok today. Hugs to anyone that needs one.

    mornign all, wet and miserable here too. was quite looking forward to a sunny drive in the countryside this afternoon, now it will be a stressful rainy drive, still its gotta be done.
    daniel's school is miles away in midle of some lovely countryside, and i have to pick him up to take him to his hospital appointment, then drive him back to school. he has to go back and see his pychiatrist today, really hoping they wont increase his meds, but i have a feeling they might, as he is becoming aggressive and self harming again, the other day he ran out into the middle of a main road, and also SH.

    hugs all

    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    I'll take one of those hugs this morning beth.

    I think I am one step from meltdown, but hoping I manage to keep it together. Had my first panic yesterday for ages and was very annoyed with myself but trying to be pleased with myself cos I calmed myself down in the quickest time ever and it was due to a known (but ridiculous) trigger.

    My parents are coming today and I was (am) panicking because I went to a car boot sale and had lunch instead of finishing the cleaning. I am panicked because I think if they see the grime on the windowledges they will think I don't care enough about them to have properly cleaned their room and that I am not coping...

    This is ridiculous because I know my parents know I care about them and I know they care about me. They couldn't care less about whether the house is clean (their house aint spotless either). The house is actually cleaner than it has been in months. My mum can't see very well so probably won't even see the dirt...

    Add to this I legitimately went into my B/fs box of financial docs to get proof of his address out so he can get some visitors parking permits (as again I am rubbish and didn't check if we had any until yesterday when the parking office is shut) and he isn't named on the household bills. The bill on top was a credit card bill, which was 15 times higher than I would have expected it to be.

    Him having this card was supposed to only be to build my trust in him after he got us into mountains of debt before and for him to build his credit history back up again.

    I now won't be able to even talk to him about it until after my parents go because he made me promise I would never tell my parents about our debt.

    Don't get me wrong - uncontrollable spending is his only vice - other than that he is the perfect boyfriend (and I mean that in a totally non-brainwashed girlfriend kind of way!).

    These are my 2 biggest triggers and they are happening at once. I want to cry.

    I am also at work and work said if I got any worse they would make me goto the doctor to be signed as fit to work before they would let me come in. I need work to give me routine.

    I feel so under pressue to keep this all in.
